It is important to keep the standard of Artlist and it's selection of artists high.  Artlist's services are available to professional artists who reside in New Zealand and fit within 1 or more of the following eligibility criteria:

• established artists,
• emerging full-time artists,
• artists whose primary source of income is from galleries, commissions and direct sales of their work, or
• artists who can show they have experience as a professional artist and are regularly producing new artworks although they may not be practicing full-time.

In some cases Artlist may allow a free listing until an artist meets the criteria above at which point they may upgrate to a standard or premium listing. Artlist will have the final decision as to eligibility for placement in the Artist Directory List.

The Artlist site statistics show the number of views for each artist profile in the directory for which we have calculated an yearly average by membership plan. We can expect these to continue rising as they have been doing so consistantly to date:

Average yearly views as at January 2009

Premium listings ..... 857
Standard listings ..... 697
Basic listings .......... 453
